Conan Rick's Investigator

"It's not just Kaito, Mr. Terai must be involved as well. They're both working together to hide this from me!"

When she guessed that Kaito and Terai, the master and servant, had colluded to deceive her and that she was not dangerous, Kuroba Chikage became furious.

Qin Zhibo looked at Heiyu Qianying with her arms crossed in anger, and suddenly felt like he was attending a parent-teacher meeting.

Kuroba Chikage is the parent, and I am the teacher who came to complain...

But why do I remember that I came here to repay a favor?

Chapter 1011: Transaction with Mrs. Hei Yu

"No, we must not let this child repeat the mistakes of Daoyi..."

After careful consideration, Kuroba Chikage still felt that Kuroba Kaito should not be involved in this matter, even if it was to avenge his father.

The people in that organization are ruthless and murderous. Fighting against them is not a simple magic trick.

Time flies, and the most important thing is that the living can be safe.

Qin Zhibo expressed his respect for Hei Yu Qianying's idea. After all, it was a very common idea for a mother.

"But based on my experience with Kaito, this kid is quite persistent and won't give up so easily."

"Besides, some things are always a knot in your heart if you keep them in your heart."

Qin Zhibo's words made Hei Yu Qianying fall into thought.

Kaito has always told me everything since he was a child, and he is a very obedient boy. But in this incident, he and Terai Huangnosuke lied to me for the first time.

Although it cannot be ruled out that it is due to the rebellious period of youth, it also shows that Kuroba Kaito is very firm in his attitude towards this matter.

But if Kuroba Kaito continues to commit crimes disguised as Kaito Kid, he will continue to face the danger of being assassinated by the Beast Brotherhood.

After thinking for a moment, Hei Yu Qianying said in a deep voice: "It seems that this is the only way..."

"What?" Qin Zhibo asked.

"That is, we work together to defeat Kaito Kidd, so that the kid's confidence will be frustrated, and then he will give up pretending to be Kaito Kidd."

Defeat Kaito Kidd?

Qin Zhibo was thinking about the countermeasures that Heiyu Qianying had proposed, and suddenly he realized something was wrong.

"I, we?"

"Yes, we." Kuroba Chikage nodded confidently, "Kaito will definitely come with Mr. Terai. They will be two people. If you come to help me, there will also be two of us."

"2v2, this is fair~"

Behind every successful magician, there is an excellent assistant.

Although Kuroba Chikage is not a magician, as the wife of a genius magician, she has long been exposed to this truth.

Besides, her goal is not only to defeat her son's cosplay of Kaito Kid, but more importantly...

"We must successfully steal the 'Black Crow in the Night' this time. This is the mission assigned to me by the Nine Angels Organization."

"Task?"

Although Qin Zhibo's tone was questioning, he was not surprised.

The Nine Angels Organization often assigns tasks to its agents, even if it means committing illegal acts during the execution of the tasks.

For example, the original owner of this body once wanted to steal books from Shuyu's house.

However, Hei Yu Qianying’s mission is more difficult, as it involves stealing gems.

Hei Yu Qianying took a sip of the orange juice on the table and continued, "I've been staying in Las Vegas for the past two months just to steal the 'Black Crow in the Night'."

"Now I have spent tens of millions in the Star Casino and become a guest of the casino. The next time I take action, I can close the net."

"Ten million...dollars?"

"Well, chips can only be exchanged for US dollars here."

Hei Yu Qianying nodded as a matter of course, but Qin Zhibo was shocked.

This is US dollars!

I thought I was wealthy with 3000 million yen, but I didn't expect that the rich woman from the Kuroba family would spend tens of millions of dollars without any hesitation.

With so much money, I can probably buy that gem directly!

Of course, since it is a task provided by the Nine Angels, it means that this "Black Crow in the Night" is not an ordinary thing and cannot be measured simply by its monetary value.

"Is there anything special about that 'Black Crow in the Night'?" Qin Zhibo asked.

Hei Yu Qianying pondered for a moment and replied, "This gem is said to be a sacred relic of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Nefren Ka, and it contains powerful magical power..."

"But this is just a legend from the outside world, and its authenticity is unknown."

"But the Nine Angels told us that when stealing this gem, we must never leave it in a dark place..."

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly. What kind of request was this?

He asked the doubts in his heart, and Heiyu Qianying shook his head in confusion.

"I don't know about this either, but it is precisely because of this requirement that it is extremely difficult for me to steal it."

"You can't put it in your pocket, you can't put it in a box, you can't walk around in the dark with it..."

"Plus, the Star Casino's security system is really strong, with layers of security and surveillance, which is why I was able to stay in Las Vegas for such a long time."

Hei Yu Qianying counted the rules and restrictions one by one, feeling a little aggrieved that there were so many troublesome restrictions for stealing a gem.

But Qin Zhibo knew that given the nature of the Nine Angels Organization, the things they contained must not be ordinary things.

It must be stolen without avoiding the light...

Is it because of what happens once the gem is in darkness?

In the darkness, it is late at night.

Black crows in the night...

Qin Zhibo held his chin in his hand, lost in thought.

……

Qin Zhibo discussed the specific details of the theft with Heiyu Qianying in the room.

Kuroba Chikage's original plan was to use the existence of the Phantom Thief Crow to cause panic in the casinos throughout Las Vegas.

When the Star Casino receives the notice, if I perform at the right time, the casino will want to rely on my wife, who was once a talented magician.

In fact, Kuroba Chikage's plan has been successful.

The connections that Kuroba Chikage had built up with a lot of money in the past two months, and the fact that she had demonstrated her insights and understanding of the Phantom Thief Crow in front of the casino owner, had already fully gained the casino owner's trust.

Therefore, Kuroba Chikage will appear as a special consultant in the vault where the "Black Crow in the Night" is sealed that day.

By then, Hei Yu Qianying would take advantage of the opportunity to view the gems and replace them with fake ones, and steal the gems openly.

The Phantom Thief Crow does not need to appear from beginning to end. He just needs to leave a letter giving up the theft at the right time.

As for the need for lighting, Hei Yu Qianying customized a black dress, which is the one she is wearing now.

There is a secret compartment at the waist of this dress, which can ensure that most of the gems are hidden inside, but there is a hole that allows external light to shine in.

If a gem is mostly covered by cloth, with only a small part in the middle exposed, it will look like a smaller gem embedded inside, and others will not see anything wrong unless they look closely.

Moreover, Hei Yu Qianying often wears this dress in and out of the casino these days, in order to enhance the impression of the casino staff.

Since Kaito Kidd is also going to join, the on-site environment will become complicated, so this plan is considered to be scrapped.

So, Kuroba Chikage came up with another plan for 0.

"How about you pretend to be the Phantom Thief Crow?"

"I'm pretending?" Qin Zhibo was stunned.

"Yes." Kuroba Chikage nodded with certainty and explained, "The only one who can fight against Kaito Kidd is Kaito Crow."

"I will offer some advice on how to protect the gemstone, and then I'll tell you how to crack it..."

"But the only question is, can you change your voice?"

Qin Zhibo: "...I would, but..."

Hei Yu Qianying clapped his hands and said happily, "That's no problem!"

"Stand up so I can take a look... Well, your figure is very similar to Daoyi's, so you don't need any transformation."

"Also, I can teach you Daoyi's voice. It doesn't have to be exactly the same, just 80% similarity is enough."

The purpose of Kuroba Chikage is to create the illusion to the outside world that Kuroba Toichi is still alive, in order to attract people from the Beast Brotherhood, so the voice must also be similar to Kuroba Toichi.

But Qin Zhibo never thought that he would need to go to the theft scene in person, and dress up as the Phantom Thief Crow.

"But I didn't even think..."

Before Qin Zhibo could finish his words, Heiyu Qianying raised a finger and blocked Qin Zhibo's mouth.

"Mr. Qin, didn't you say you wanted to return the favor?"

"If you can ensure the safety of this child, it will be the greatest favor you can repay."

"And can you bear to see me deal with that rebellious child and Mr. Terai alone?"

Hei Yu Qianying's eyes gradually became blurred, and she looked pitiful.

I have to say that 39-year-old Kuroba Chikage is still a beauty. Her skin is maintained like that of a woman in her 20s, and she has a more mature femininity.

But Qin Zhibo has a will of steel after all. He would be so easily tempted into agreeing to something even if his security check beeps. After all, this matter is dangerous.

"Well, I can help you with this, but at the same time I also want to ask you for something."

"Ah? Why is this like this..."

Hei Yu Qianying pouted and twisted her body left and right, pretending to be a little woman.

But Qin Zhibo was not moved at all and directly told his commission to Heiyu Qianying.

"There's a town called Arkham near Boston, and there's a university there called Miskatonic University."

"I want you to help me steal a book from the Miskatonic University library called the Necronomicon."

"Book of the Dead?" Hei Yu Qianying complained, "What a strange name..."

但如

If it was just a book, it would definitely be much easier to steal than valuable gems. This job should be no problem for me.

"No problem, the Book of the Dead, right? I can help you steal it."

Hei Yu Qianying thought about it for a few seconds and agreed immediately.

Qin Zhibo also smiled when he saw this.

"That's OK, it's a deal."

"make a deal."

……

Qin Zhibo was in a good mood after reaching an agreement with Hei Yu Qianying.

After walking out of the room, Qin Zhibo pressed the down button of the elevator and waited for the elevator to arrive.

The reason why Qin Zhibo stole the "Book of the Dead" was actually because he had always been curious about this ultimate magic book that Koizumi Hongzi mentioned.

According to Koizumi Akako, the Necronomicon is the most perfect of all the grimoires in the world.

This book was written by the Arab poet Abdullah Alhazad, and its perfection even surpasses the Book of Eibon written by the great magician Eibon.

It records a wide range of knowledge including astrology, astronomy, existences much older than humans, and history before humans appeared.

Since Abdullah Alhasad was once a magic apprentice, it contains countless spells and magic circles.

What is even more rare is that The Book of Eibon has almost disappeared today, with only a few fragments still circulating.

But the Necronomicon held at Miskatonic University is the most complete and one of the few publicly available original Latin versions in the world.

With this book, Koizumi Hongzi should be able to learn the magic she needs to pass the test of the Seven Witch Formations.
